Surrounded by Books Reviews is hosting a Favorite Summer Reads Blogfest. Tell us what your favorite summer reads are. Plus, there is a chance for prizes. Today is the last day of the blogfest. On Wednesday, I talked about my favorite book this year (Beth Revis's
Across the Universe), on Thursday, I talked about my favorite books this summer (Jennifer Hillier's
Creep, Aubrie Dionne's
Paradise 21, and Cas Peace's
King's Envoy), and today I'm talking about my favorite reads of summers past.
I used to read a lot during the summer. I remember spending long summer days and nights curled up on the couch reading. I loved reading The Cat Who series by Lillian Jackson Braun. I read Sweet Valley High and Nancy Drew.
Then, there was JK Rowling's Harry Potter series. I read those books several summers since 2001 and stood in line at midnight to get my free copy (yes, I won free copies. No one could beat my knowledge of the books. Muahaha!).
Now I don't get quite as much time to read in the summer since I have work, but I still miss and long for those quiet days with a good book.

Hello, Cherie! When I was in high school and college I read the Harry Potter's every summer. Now I re-read them around Christmas time.
I love re-reading my favorite books! The Anne of Green Gables series and Little House books are just a few that I re-read every couple years. Good thing I'm a fast reader so I can make time to re-read favorites and read new ones!
Impressive selection. I read all the time at bedtime so I'm not sure which ones were specifically summer ones. I'm not a lying on the beach reading kinda person.I loved Harry Potter, but haven't read any of those others you mentioned. :O)
Just posted mine ;O)
I just posted mine!
Sweet Valley High and Nancy Drew... I devoured those books! And before that, The Babysitter's Club.
After seeing everyone's posts, I have an urge to read the HP books again! *LOL*
Good old Nancy Drew! I read so many of those books. LOL.
I have to re-read Harry Potter sometime. I'm thinking about doing it before the DVD of Part 2 comes out . . .
Hi Cherie. I've not been doing blogfests as no time except for my Friday RFWer 'fest. And it'd be Winter Reads over here, ha ha...

Oh, Sweet Valley High! That brings back memories. I used to go through that series, and still have "Malibu Summer" - loved that story.
